Simple way to enter dates?

[scar]

My users are complaining that they have to enter the "/" characters in the date field. Is there an easier way? If I have 3 fields (mm, dd, yyyy) then they'll have to tab.
The calendar idea is quite neat but is there a simple solution for my lazy users?
Their preference is just to type "13112002" and the cursor would hop across pre-displayed "/" characters.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!

To do that you will need to set an input mask.
